The release of various adipokines, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, results in insulin resistance in adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and liver. Insulin resistance in adipose tissue leads to lipolysis and increased FFA release, even in the presence of relatively increased insulin levels. With continued nutrient excess the capacity of adipocyte storage capacity is exceeded and lipid “overflows” to other tissues, such as muscle and liver, worsening insulin resistance and resulting in lipotoxicity and metabolic inflexibility.

Placental hypervascularization may be supported by elevated levels of placental IGF2 and leptin, increased fetal IGF1, IGF2, leptin, fibroblast-specific growth factor 2 (FGF2), and reduced fetal TNF-α, as well as by fetal hypoxia.
